I was walking in the woods and smelled a familiar scent so I followed it.
I saw Keith who was sitting on a broken tree branch.
“Keith, what are you doing here?” I asked him.
“Chilling” he said smiling and showing me all his pearly whited. I frowned when I noticed the liquor bottles around him.
“Is everything okay?” I asked sitting next to him. He reeked of alcohol and I scrunched my nose at that. “How long have you been drinking?”
“Just started” he said smiling and I frowned harder because there was at least ten empty bottles around. He wasn’t sober.
“That’s it. Get up, we are going to the house” I said getting up and tugging his arm.
“I am not going anywhere” he said pushing my hands.
“Why not?”
“Wherever I go, I see mates. The blushing, holding hands, sucking each other’s face, cuddling… all make me sick” he said and pretended to gag while I stared at him not knowing what to say.
“You know I didn’t want a mate on my sixteenth birthday, I wanted to enjoy life.” He said chuckling. “Everyone found their mates. You, Ben everyone. I am the last one left in the group and I doubt whether I have one” he continued talking staring ahead.
“Don’t say that. You’ll find your mate one day and she’ll love you more than anything” I said comforting but he scoffed at that.
“I don’t have a mate” he said.
I didn’t want him to be like this, he looked so sad and it hurt. I knew he must feel really lonely when we are all with our mates.
“Keith, you are drunk. We’ll talk tomorrow” I told and started tugging his arms again.
“No. I want to talk now. I want to know why I don’t have a mate” he shouted. “Am I that bad?”
“Keith please, Calm down we’ll talk tom-”
“I want to know why?” he screamed.
He was my best friend but he looked so broken and sad now. I wanted to do something for him but I couldn’t do anything.
“I am ranting, aren’t i?” he asked me somberly while I stared at him. “I should better go. Sorry” he said walking away.
I watched him until he vanished from my view. I asked Cam through the link to go and talk to Keith. I didn’t want him to be like this.
I also knew he wouldn’t have been like this if we hadn’t found our mate. He must feel lonely now, since we all have our mates.
